Harlaxton Manor

Harlaxton Manor was built by Gregory Gregory in the 1830s. He was a wealthy Nottinghamshire businessman and this new building was to replace the original Elizabethan Manor House in Harlaxton Village. Gergory travelled throughout England and Europe seeking inspiration, ideas and indeed artefacts for this huge house. The manor is built of Ancaster stone and is an exuberant merging of Gothic, Jacobethan and Baroque styles creating an unforgettable and dramatic impact.
